[divus]

What you're "owed"?

[psynergy]

[So Sheba either didn't run around telling his life story or she's playing dumb. Noted.]

In my world. It's why I'm bothering with your problems to begin with. I know what I need to do, but I'd like additional assurance no one will get in my way this time.

[...Admittedly, I assume he knows exactly what he needs to do. I'm sorry if we actually get GS4 and I made you lie.]

[divus]

[sheba isn't a blabbermouth, thanks alex]

Hm. That makes sense.

[psynergy]

[Neither is Mia, didn't stop her from instilling a deep, detailed hatred of him in her children.]

Precisely. So I certainly don't mind paying little heed to these useless insects if it means I remain in the best position to insure victory.

[divus]

Wow, you really don't like them.

[psynergy]

While that's not entirely untrue in some cases, I think it's more accurate to say I see no benefit in paying them any heed.

[divus]

[she shrugs]

If you say so. I can't tell you to change how you're doing this. And, like, you're not wrong. Some of them are totally dumb.

[psynergy]

[I can, but it's already week fucking 6... weeps]

Unfortunately. And it seems as though the vast majority with any semblance of knowledge don't know how to utilize it productively.

[divus]

Or maybe they just have a different way of utilizing it than you.

[psynergy]

Perhaps. I've yet to see any evidence that there's any difference between that explanation and my own, however.

[divus]

[she just shrugs]

I'm not going to bother trying to change your mind.

[psynergy]

Did you think you needed to?

[divus]

If it was earlier in the competition, maybe. There isn't much point now.

[psynergy]

All right.

[Apologies OOCly for everything forever.]

On that note, though, how should I consider the use of my power with potentially the final week approaching?

[divus]

Hmm... well. We'll have the final week, and then the victor will be decided on the Monday after the last trial. There will be one last chance for everyone to defect, so make sure you don't get anyone now that you might want to get later.

[psynergy]

"Get" in what sense?

[divus]

Use your power on them, of course. What other sense is there?

[psynergy]

So you can't use your power on the same person in succession?

[divus]

...uh, yes? It said so on the slab the powers were all engraved on.

[psynergy]

[...Let's pretend he's not infected with my memory.....]

All right, then. I'll keep that in mind.

[DON'T LOOK AT ME... /)_(\]

[divus]

Also, if you like, try to figure out who my other followers are, you can compare the names you've already used the power on. Just because you've already used the power on someone doesn't mean another follower of mine has. They could get them even if you can't.

[psynergy]

And of course you can't provide anything further on that subject yourself, correct?

[I'm not sure if he's mad at me or I'm just mad at myself for panicking when I tried to figure out who to talk to.]

[divus]

It's your job to figure that out. I can give you hints if you do tasks for me, but you have to finish the tasks before I'm allowed to do that, since who people are aligned with is one of the things we're not allowed to just tell people normally.

[psynergy]

[...Do you know how badly I want a do-over of this game now that I'm finally learning all of this stuff, buhhhhhhh. Though I'd make him Felix.]

What sorts of tasks, if I may ask?

[...Yeah, we don't have time for those anymore because I'm slow and you wouldn't do them anyway, Mr. Chessmaster :|]

[divus]

[Ambition shrugs again and starts to list off the possibilities.]

Snoop around and find someone from a faction I don't like so you can deliberately bring down their numbers, switch to Blame Game and get people to vote for the wrong culprit because of your evidence, find the other members of our team and coordinate with them, steal something from one of the other gods I don't like, go join another god temporarily to keep their numbers up, go join another god and use their powers to help our team...
